CONSENT, SAFETY AND A MORAL COMPASS IN HYPNOKINK.
My last post was pretty inflammatory and enabling of toxic masculinity and toxic dom culture, and I don't like that out of context it can be taken as "I'm attracted to and ok with toxic men who abuse women if it gets me off". There's a lot to be said about that topic, it's cultivation, persistence, romanticized nature, propaganda and history. Yes, I am attracted to toxic men and their mannerisms. There is empirical evidence that the amount of arrogance it takes to be a toxic dom is the same amount it takes to make me unwaveringly say "Yes Sir" and just defer to you for the rest of an evening. Someone saying the right thing in the right tone just *does things* to my brain, and if tiktok is to be believed that isn't uncommon. But saying I'm attracted to toxic mannerisms isn't the same as saying I think they're good, in fact I champion against these things and against this portrayal in media. Because it does enable and normalise toxicity.
I don't support uneven power dynamics
I don't support people approaching someone they perceive as submissive "on a hunch" and behaving sexually or submissive/dominant towards them with no context
I don't support jokes that trivialise trauma or normalise rape culture.
I don't support coerced consent
I don't support misinformed consent
I don't support drugging someone to gain consent or physical access to a person
I don't romanticize abuse
I am into darker kinks in a very real way that endangers my psyche and my life. People hear kinky brainwashing and it's 'haha sex slave harem ooh' and never 'oh yeah that suicide sex cult where every member signed all their net worth to the leader and stopped talking to their families, then killed themselves because they needed to earn the leader's love and thought suicide was the only way to get their attention' but those are the same switches I enjoy pulling on when it comes to hypnosis. I'm hyper aware of that fact, and how easy a fun endorphin rush can be used to become an addictive reward system by the wrong person. A lot of the time it also means that when I look at toxic content, I view it through both the lense of "that's hot" and "that is not appropriate to do to a human being except under very specific circumstances someone has consented to, which also includes 3 different safeties to protect that person's mental and physical health. If you're not doing it that way, GTFO you're scum and worse than trash." I use the latter view ALL THE TIME. 24/7. It doesn't turn off. I will never see a battered human and think "oh my god that is so sexy, wish it was me". My priority is always to the horrific tragedy of lost life, lost potential, the breaking of spirit. My heart aches with empathy and sympathy for the mistreatment of these people. If you ever see posts on my blog regarding things that would be problematic, be aware it is always under that umbrella. Kidnapping is hot - WHEN EVERYONE CONSENTS AND THERE ARE SAFETIES. Being stalked and covertly conditioned is hot - WHEN EVERYONE CONSENTS AND THERE ARE SAFETIES. Ruining your life for someone else's pleasure is hot - WHEN EVERYONE CONSENTS AND THERE ARE SAFETIES. Abuse is not hot. Breaking people isn't hot. Traumatising someone isn't hot.
